PTI Leader Hammad Azhar Arrested From Multan in May 9 Cases
Police said Hammad Azhar was wanted in multiple May 9 cases after an anti-terrorism court declared him a proclaimed offender.
- On Sunday, police arrested Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader and former National Assembly member Hammad Azhar in Multan, subsequently transferring him to Lahore police for legal proceedings.

- Thousands of protesters targeted the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi and the Corps Commander House in Lahore during the 2023 riots, which erupted following Khan's initial detention.
